Western Digital Scorpio 160GB 5400rpm EIDE 8MB Hard Drive (Internal)
WD Scorpio delivers best-in-class performance with low power requirements comparable to much slower notebook drives. In addition, you'll get the quietest 2.5 inch drive on the market with real-time data protection technology to help keep your data safe.
Fast - spins at 5400 RPM and delivers seek times of 12ms
Low Power - spins at 5400 RPM for fast performance but has power specifications similar to slower 4200 RPM drives. Low power consumption yields longer battery life and increased overall reliability
Quiet - features WD's exclusive WhisperDrive technology with SoftSeek algorithms to deliver the quietest 2.5-inch hard drive on the market
Reliable - provides ShockGuard to protect the drive mechanics and delicate platter surface from shocks, both when it's in use and when it's not. This leading-edge technology enables WD drives to meet the highest combined shock tolerance specifications in its class: 250 Gs while in operation, 900 Gs when it's idle. DuraStep Ramp locks the heads off the data disk to provide additional shock protection. Utilizing the most technologically advanced material available on the market, the drive is able to execute a minimum of 600,000 load/unload cycles without contamination - up to twice the performance of its competitors
Rugged - WD Scorpio has a rigid stainless steel cover, unlike other devices, that will withstand greater than 5 pounds of pressure - nearly 1.5 times the industry average without pinching the motor hub or other internal components
